Jon - check out the message I just posted about how to include images and links. You can make these links 'active' by following the Text Syle Menu instructions (see the link at the bottom of the page). For non-NPN members, the embed image option is only available for new posts, not replies.

Nice pics by the way! :smile:

Where exactly in Norway did you go?

Great stuff, Jon! :toast:

Love the clarity of the water on the first shot; you've nailed the composition on all of them, IMHO.

Great shots!! I really love the one with the boat. The dark clouds also add a very moody feel to these
images.

If the first shot is just south of Byrkjelo, I know where you took it. It is awesome. All your photos are great, with a very nice mood and composition. If you are taking suggestions, I would say that you could pull back on the NDG use. Thanks for sharing! :smile:

Thanks for all the nice comments!! I have a few more that I will add once I find a cafe with wireless. I am on a library computer so can't upload my new ones. Anyways to answer the question...Where exactly in Norway did you go?

everywhere! haha. I rented a car. I have been driving around for 6 days now. I basically just go up and down western norway roads and when I find a place, I pull over, get out, set up shop and then read,write,listen to music until the light is nice. I have 3 more days with the car. And then heading to Finland.

thanks again for the nice comments guys! :toast:

The ND filter is an interesting topic for me. I use a REALLY dark ND, and it often makes the clouds too dark, but as a result, it creates a really moody picture which I like. Art vs. Realism? I dont know.

I've always heard Norway is sublime, and your great images here prove that. Nice work!

Great shots Jon. Add Norway to the list of places I need to get to. :biggrin:

I do agree with Momo on the ND issue, but that is just my personal preference. If it fits your style and artistic vision - go for it!! Comps are excellent on all of them. Congrats on what looks to have been a very successful trip!
